Varun Chakravarthy 5 wickets vs Delhi sets Twitter on fire

Chasing a gigantic target of 195, Delhi got off to an awful start, losing Ajinkya Rahane on the first ball of their innings as he was trapped in front of the wicket by Pat Cummins for a golden duck. The in-form Shikhar Dhawan followed his partner as he was cleaned up by Cummins for 6. Delhi skipper Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant then tried to build their side's innings as they started playing meticulously.

The Delhi duo formed a 63-run partnership and looked to take the game away from Kolkata but Varun Chakravarthy had other plans. The leg-spinner got rid of Rishabh Pant who perished while trying to sweep the ball, getting caught at long leg for 27. Chakravarthy struck once again, however, this time he dismissed two Delhi batsmen in the form of Shimron Hetmyer (10) and Shreyas Iyer (47) on successive balls, both caught at long-on.
